Home from the COMPLETELY AMAZING MCR GIG. I have lots of video to share but I'm dead tired and I have a train to catch tomorrow to make the Manchester gig with
krisipanics so I can't recap now. (Also, I wanted to put up just a couple of vids now but YouTube HATES me. HAAAAATES me. I WANTED TO SHOW YOU MIKEYWAY'S HAIR SHAKING DAMMIT. Oh, and the new songs. Shit. I HATE YOU YOUTUBE.) Go
check out my twitter ramblings for the blow-by-blow. Here are just the headlines:
Actually here is one that magically worked:

Big ticket items:
Mike Pedicone on drums
James Dewees on keys
Four songs from the new album: Planetary GO! (Gerard RAPS you guys) Kids of Yesterday (power ballad) The Only Hope For Me Is You and they opened (of course) with Na Na Na
They played 2 songs from Bullets - Honey this Mirror Ain't Big Enough For the Two Of Us (they dragged an audience member up who begged to allow her twin sister to join her and of COURSE Gerard agreed and Frankie smiled SO VERY HARD AND ADORABLY. TWINS, YOU GUYS) and Lady Of Sorrows (which got Miz her gig phone call)
Mikeyway looks FUCKING HOT. Hotter than FIRE. He kept shaking his blonde locks everywhere and slaying women with his infinite cool.
Gerard ditched his jacket within the first few songs to frolic about in that black sleeveless shirt with HUUUUGE armholes that he's been wearing non stop, JFC it's going to walk away by itself soon - flashing us his nicely toned deathly white gym arms all night. He thanked everyone for being in costume. Yes of course he was wearing his LEATHER PANTS.
It's Frank's turn to have a french pirate phase. Frank had a photo frame of the twins sitting on his amp the whole set. He brought it out with him and took it offstage afterwards.
Gerard promised us another 10 years of the band.
I would post pictures but the ones I took are seriously terrible. For some reason my camera only wants to be in focus when shooting video, not stills, so if I can get FUCKING YOUTUBE to behave you can see the boys in all their frolicking, head shaking, prancing, rolling on the floor glory.
PROPER RECAP WHEN I'VE SLEPT AND AND WHEN YOUTUBE STOPS BEING A LITTLE BITCH. AND AFTER I'VE SEEN THEM PLAY AGAIN. AGAIN, YOU GUYS. THIS IS INSANE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......
